Old Lattice Bridge over the Pemigewassett river near Woodstock, New Hampshire (United States)

I SHUT my eyes in the snow-fall
And dream a dream of the hills.
The sweep of a host of mountains,
Theflash of a hundred rills,

For a moment they crowd my vision;

Then, moving in troops along,

They leave me one still mountain-picture,

The murmur of one river’s song.

’T is the musical Pemigewasset,
That sings to the hemlock-trees
Of the pines on the Profile Mountain,

Of the stony Face that sees

Extract from the poem Pemigewasset, the River

Lucy Larcom
